How to install Pyro and Boost gauges to a GQ

[patch697]

I did think about that one mate....I love my ciggy lighter though...LMAO....

Also, I think you want to keep a good eye on the EGT's so having it up on the dash just under the A pillar will be in perfect site to monitor without taking your eyes off the road too much.

It's very tempting to put it in the ciggy lighter position though!!!!!!!!!

Its a lot easier to find a spit & run wires for a ciggy lighter then a gauge old mate...

I'd have to agree with a pillar pod & its what I'll be doing one of these days.

I just like em......lol

Looks great, I'm begining my mods with a boost and pyro gauge mounted on the GU pillar. Great info, I used to have my gauges in the GQ in the same spot, always more fun watching the boost gauge than the clock!!!

Couldn't care where mine go ... I just want more dials to look at!!!! lmao

I just realised that I have finished all my gauges and completely forgot to take photos along the way of the PYRO...OOPS!

I'll try and take some this weekend. It's pretty much similar to the boost except I drilled a 6mm hole in the exhaust, push the probe through, bolt off and run the lines back into the cab.

Mate what gauges did you end up running? I've been looking at the autometer's, seem to be good quality at a reasonable price.

Yep, I ran the Autometers. In my opinion the best quality for the price by far.

There's some on our affiliate store with Amazon for sale which have the package for both Pyro and Boost at a good price too --> http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/4x4-store.html

Did you have to get the bung welded into the exhaust for the pyro, or did you just drill and tap?

I have my boost gauge and am waiting for the pyro to arrive. Can't get the pillar pod till next week as the seller is up in Sydney for the 4WD show and didn't bring any with him

Just drill and tap mate.

It was an easy job, far easier then I thought.

Just drill the 6mm hole (or whatever the intructions say) slide the probe through ensuring the ceramic washer is the first object inbetween the exhaust and probe, then the locking bolt and tighten....Job done!

Thanks for that - hopefully the postie is nice to me today and brings the pyro so I can get stuck into it over the weekend.
